Hey everyone! Just a few updates on grease pencil in Blender 3.0: • If you'd like to draw on a new frame, you'll need to press the "auto-keying" button at the bottom of the timeline. If you don't have this turned on, you will accidentally draw on top of the previous keyframes. • If you're looking for the Interpolate Sequence options in Edit Mode, in the viewport, it will be under "Grease Pencil > Interpolate Sequence". Shortcut is Shift + Crtl + E in the viewport. • There is now an option to "Auto Lock Inactive Layers" in the layers panel. • If your grease pencil objects appear over your meshes and ignore the Z space, go into the View Layers tab and under "Data", make sure "Z" is checked. • Right Click in Draw Mode is a shortcut to quick access Materials & Layers Good luck!
I had a issue with the Z space (My flowers were on top of my ROSES >:((( ) but when I enable the Z in DATA in View Layer Properties it repaired and my Roses are nice looking Thanks for help
so i finally finished your tutorial today and i'm so happy with the results! took me roughly 8 hours to complete :S Love your tutorials so much, clear, concise and professional! Going to work on the bakery house again, the last time i tried i wasn't familiar enough with the software but this time i'm much more confident!
Hi, I'm at 14:16 and can't draw any flowers. I selected the grease pencil object but other objects(window, table and vase) don't turn the colour into white. What did I miss?
Make sure the timeline head is set to zero and the record button is clicked on. There were a few changes to this version, you can reference the pinned comment at the top to see. Hope that helps!
What a glorious, clear, concise and well constructed tutorial. Blender is not the most intuitive software, but you made me do a great step forward. Keep up the good work !
Thank you for this tutorial! It was my first time working with the Shading Editor (in the first part of the tutorial), which I found mind-blowing! After some Googling, I found that the overlap glitch happening at th-cam.com/video/P7VsRlH7w_4/w-d-xo.html may be caused by two grease pencil object origins being too close/overlapping. I found my flowers and light trails were fine in the viewport, but interfering with each other in the final render. I had to move the light trails further away from the flowers to get around this. I hope this helps anyone doing this tutorial.
You seriously put together some of the best learning content for blender on YT. Immediately subbed after following this tutorial and whether you make more or not, this has been incredibly helpful, thanks for putting in all the time and effort :)
Yes that's correct, you'll need to lock all the other layers you aren't using. If you'd like to just select each stroke individually, you can use stroke select (numpad 2) and that might help.
A tip: Set your Stroke Depth Order to 3D Location in the GP object Data properties. That way you can freely add strokes behind or in front of the others without having the newest strokes overlap the former ones! :)
Thanks for the input, but I intentionally did not use 3D location and kept it 2D for this primarily because GP is a little glitchy when it comes to overlapping color layers (specifically the highlights and the shadows). I wanted to avoid any confusion from those following along. But feel free to do whatever you’d like 😁
@@kevandram Ooof, thank you for the reaction! Guess I still need lots of experience - Glad there are channels like yours that make it super fun. Really grateful for the inspiring & educating videos. Keep it up ☻
Subbed, this is such a wonderful channel thank you so much! can I ask how you got that bloom effect at the end in the final video? is it just the light beams seen through the camera or a compositing effect?
Thanks so much! I did add a glare compositing node in Blender and did more compositing in after effects (just added more glow). But, you can definitely get that full effect in Blender from adjusting the glare node and bloom render options. Hope that helps!
Your channel is awesome! Thank you so much for everything! Could I please ask you how you created the PNGTuber character? Is it completely made in Grease Pencil? Do you use any other software to animate it for the tutorial? Thanks in advance! 🙂
There is a button in the left tool bar, but we're actually using "interpolate sequence" here. You can access it by going to "grease pencil" at the top of the viewport and selecting "interpolate sequence". Hope that helps!
well everything was ok until rendering, I got a huge problem like all those grease pencil drawing are drawn front whereas 3d models are shown behind, I tried everything method but still I am unable to solve this, does anyone have a solution for this? please do reply
No worries! This is a new feature in Blender 3. All you’ll need to do is go to the view layer properties tab and under Data, make sure Z is checked. Then it should display correctly when rendering. Hope that helps!
hello guys, i seem to have trouble with the animation part, cant seem to see the keys in the timeline. Already navigated in my TL it's nowhere to be found.
If you have the most recent version in Blender, you should see the grease pencil keyframes in the timeline when the editing context dropdown in the dope sheet is set to "dope sheet". If using an older version, make sure the editing context is set to "grease pencil" hope that helps!
Hey, Im trying this tutorial but getting when drawing on existing flower petals, my new layer goes back. eg. at 14:42 - I drew yellow filling inside the flower, it went back of white flower. Same thing happened for all object, I couldnt drew on "top" of them. Could you please help me Kevin Thnx ^_^
I want to draw something and fill something and suddenly I cant draw. It just draw different circles. I turn off the guides, but it doesn't work. Whatever I draw, the guides will turn on and all I can do is draw a circle.
That really is strange, I'm sorry you're encountering it. My first guess would be that guides are turned on. But, it's unusual for them to automatically turn on while you're about draw. My other guess would be that you have the circular shape option in the draw tools selected, but that doesn't sound like it. Try to reinstall Blender again and see if that works. Sorry I can't be of any more help!
In the data tab on the right (near the render buttons), make sure Z is checked. This is a new option within Blender and needs to be enabled so that the render respects the Z space. Hope that helps!
the time offset modifier has no effect on the animation when rendered , the animation is not repeating even the time offser modifier is active , it is working fine on the viewport but not when rendered , the rendered video only shows the 20 frame animation, plzz help me if anybody encountered with the same issue...
So sorry you're encountering that, sounds frustrating. It might be that the modifier is disabled in renders. Click on the modifiers tab (the blue wrench icon), go up to the title "Time Offset Modifier" and to the right of it, check to see that you have both the screen icon and camera icon highlighted. Blender has a functionality that allows you to see something in the viewport, but not in the render and vice versa. Check that (and make sure keep loop is checked) and hopefully that should work.
Howdy! I know this is super late, but I just encountered this problem and the way I fixed it was by going back into Object Mode. I forgot that Modifiers can't be applied in Edit Mode, which is what I was on.
This can happen I've realized in the more recent versions. What you can try is tabbing into edit mode, selecting all with "A", then going to sculpt mode and trying it again. Hope that helps!
@@kevandram thank you for the answer but it still didnt work for me at the time. Today I got together and decided to try again and noticed that the leaves went inside the vase. I moved it a bit and after that grab started working lol. Idk if it was the exact reason but Im so happy rn, finally I get to finish this amazing tutorial :D Edit: well, seems like it wasnt an actual reason. Moving in edit mode fixes Grab tool(moving and returning back also works).
Hy, I followed the tutorial, Thank you for it learned so many things. One doubt tho, at 57:35 -> All flowers including 3D were glowing, what effect was it? Thank you for reply Kevin :)
Thanks for your message! You should be able to find "Use Lights" right under the opacity slider in the layers panel. What version of Blender are you using?
Hi Kevin, first of all thanks!It's a great tutorial. Although I'm a bit stuck in the first animation step. When I rotate the flower doesn't appear the key frame automatically, if I do it manually just disappear in that frame. :(
Sorry for the late reply! Glad you were able to figure out a solution. I was going mention that it might be that the record button needs to be enabled. This is a new feature from Blender 2.9 + where if you want to automatically create keyframes, you'll have enable it. Hope that helps!
Hi, if youre still checking these comments, or if anybody knows how to help: when going to animate my grease pencil object, it isnt automatically creating key frames, but instead rotating the object on the same frame and not changing. plz help and thank u for the dope vid
Thank you! And no worries, it’s a new feature in Blender 3.0. You need to have the button “auto keying” enabled. It looks like a record button. If you check the pinned comment, I detailed a few other things that have been updated that can help. Let me know if you run into anything else.
Yep! You can definitely do that. But I would try to be mindful especially when trying to animate. Depending on your computer, it can slow your workflow down significantly.
I couldnt draw a flower(14:20). I did follow all the instrustion.. but still couldnt :( and i m using blender 3 version.. does that matter in this case??
@@iQ-ln5xf Hey I had the same problem and by doing some research, I found a solution that worked for me on Blender 3.1. You need to go to Properties menu, then view Layer Properties -> Passes -> Data -> Check "Z".
@@serranorobredo thank u so much , was struggling with this for about an houre and by scrolling down the comments found ur comment which was a life savior
Is the little avatar of you automated or is that all hand-animated? How long did it take you to do that part? I really like it but I feel like it could use just a couple more mouth shapes. Too many use what looks like an L with the tongue touching the teeth
Thanks! I used a different program for the avatar. The parts and movement frames were drawn, but the animation itself is motion captured live. It’s probably due to my audio not registering. I thought it’d be fun to incorporate something like this in the tutorial. Thanks for checking it out! 😁

Hey! The tutorial is going great but when i put the yellow circle on the flower at 33:36 it doesn't appear at all? It dissapears in the green petals.

When I try to move flower 5 back, it moves all grease pencil layers???
I think cause I have to lock layers I don't want to move? They also move like super far each tick unless I hold down control, why is that?
